First band : 20H30 be there in time.
Explorant la musique électronique et les musiques du monde sans aucune frontière, Alchemik Babylon Beats (ABB) propose des sets vivants, énergiques et planants, alliant instruments et nouvelles technologies, influencés par le dub anglais et jamaïcain. Des basses lourdes et hypnotiques, une rythmique dynamique, des sons électro, voici le cocktail que vous propose ABB pour leur retour sur scène !
Founded in 1994 by the Masson brothers, Pneumatic Head Compressor, one of the oldest metal-electronic-industrial-noisy band in Belgium is still there to bring the chaos on stage..
« Their Music is somewhere between Meshuggah and Godflesh »
With destructured, heavy, tortured music and a confusion of original tones, strange noises, shouts and atypical singings, P.H.C. surprises by the originality and diversity of its repertoire.
As a matter of fact, PHC’s intense compositions are the result of a long maturation process (the group finds it funny to call it a putrefaction process).
Let’s we forget, the fraternal duo has been involved in Magasin 4 for a long time. As one of the last fortresses of alternative music in Brussels, it is fair to say they had a lot on their plate; one might even wonder when these DIY aficionados —who record, mix and create their artwork by themselves—have found the time to share the stage with bands such as Godflesh, Zu, Pound, OvO, Hint, La Muerte, Mr Marcaille, Zeni Geva, Punish Yourself, Le Singe Blanc and many more….
Throughout the PHC’s Music we find the dense, uncompromising, unstructured and pounding music Pneumatic Head Compressor cherish: oppressive, tortuous grooves, raging lyrics and… well… ape-like vocalizations put into a shaker with industrial, metal, hardcore, doom, electronic and experimental sounds. A harsh man/machine duel that sums them up pretty well.
The brothers’ desire to make the listener jump into dark, murky waters and to keep him breathless until the end of the listening experience is remarkable.
Tat2NoisAct is made up of tattooist musicians... or not... and musician tattooists... or not.
Tattooing has become a factory whereas it was once a tool; music is an industry. The underground nature and rebellion once associated with tattooing and punk rock have devolved into consumerist, aestheticized, and sexist acts.
Tat2NoisAct restores a primitive meaning to the act of marking the skin. Far from commercial tattooing and formulaic music, the band reconnects with the DIY spirit of early punk.
The sense of urgency is palpable. In an electric trance, these beings perform a ritual dance where music merges with the buzz of the machines—the sound dictates the stroke, an act through which an indelible score is written.
Tat2NoisAct has existed since 2005, coinciding with the opening of the Brussels tattoo shop "La Boucherie Moderne" by Kostek and Jef Palumbo, both founders of the shop and the band.
The group is intimately linked to an entire generation of tattoo artists such as Ian Black, Léa Nahon, Piet du Congo, and others. For 20 years, the band has toured across Europe, released several records, and more.
